Ever wondered what it’s like to step into a world of sweets and Instagram-worthy fun? This September, the Museum of Ice Cream (MOIC) Singapore celebrated its 4th birthday with a month-long line-up of family-friendly activities in Singapore. From hands-on ice cream making workshops with Denzy Gelato, to Asia’s largest Sprinkle Pool takeover at Dempsey Hill, the birthday bash was packed with sweet moments. There was even a disco party to keep the celebrations going strong. Together, these experiences created plenty to explore for kids, families, and anyone searching for fun things to do in Singapore.

We joined the celebrations with our little one, aged six, during the September school holidays. First, we rolled up our sleeves for a fun ice cream making session. Then, we explored MOIC’s colourful, whimsical installations, where every corner revealed a new surprise. With so much to see, do, and taste, the experience was one to remember.

Museum of Ice Cream Singapore’s 4th Birthday Celebrations

1. MOIC’s Ice Cream making workshop

We kick off the celebrations with a hands-on ice cream making session led by the cheerful MOIC team. The workshop space looks straight out of a storybook. Walls are drenched in ice cream pink, colourful merch lines the shelves, and the cosy setup feels just right for little hands.

The session comes with playful touches at every step. From a quick warm-up exercise to choosing flavours and mixing ingredients, the process keeps both kids and adults entertained. It also makes for brilliant family bonding, as everyone gets to create, laugh, and taste together. The best bit is sampling your very own ice cream creation at the end. Even better, the recipe is simple enough to recreate at home with just a few basic tools and ingredients. And to top it off, little ones even receive a certificate of completion — a sweet keepsake from a fun-filled workshop. 

Time to complete:
Approx. 45 mins

Note: While MOIC’s birthday workshops have wrapped up, it continues to run similar hands-on sessions suitable for families and little ones. Keep an eye on their page for the full scoop and don’t miss these colourful, fun-filled experiences!

Insta Worthy installations

For us, the true highlight of the Museum of Ice Cream Singapore is the design of its whimsical installation spaces. Each one feels like stepping straight into a storybook, filled with playful details that delight kids and the young at heart alike. Around every corner, you’ll find vibrant colours, creative themes, and eye-catching backdrops — perfect for snapping picture-perfect shots that could easily fill an entire family album.

When it comes to Instagram-worthy spots, the sprinkle pool, rainbow tunnel, and banana room are our absolute favourites. But if there’s one you simply can’t miss, it’s the iconic Sprinkle Pool (keep scrolling to check it out). Hailed as the largest in Asia, this dreamy pit of oversized sprinkles, colourful ladders, and vintage Barbie vibes is pure whimsy — and one of the most Instagrammable places in Singapore.

Fun interactive spaces

Beyond being Instagram-worthy, the Museum of Ice Cream Singapore is also big on play, interaction, and learning. Before stepping inside, the friendly team hands out a MOIC passport packed with puzzles, trivia, and even an ice cream log — a fun way for little ones to taste their way through the museum. Along the way, kids can discover ice creams from around the world, burn off energy at the indoor playspace, and bounce to their heart’s content at the colourful bouncy castle. There are also creative stops like a tattoo station with ice cream–themed designs and a postcard corner where children can write and send playful notes across Singapore. With so many interactive activities, MOIC Singapore is more than just a photo spot — it’s a family-friendly experience that keeps both kids and adults engaged from start to finish.
